Animal

Animal magic, a subschool of Transmutation, involves the transforming of animals and animal matter. Since Man is also an animal, Animal magic does have a limited overlap with Healing. Animal mages can turn themselves into animals, and turn animals into almost anything else. Animal magic does not allow wizards to attract animals, which is a Summoning effect, or befriend them, which is the province of Emotionists. But when it comes to changing a creature physically, Animal mages cannot be beat.

Animal magic cannot be combined with any other school of magic unless the wizard is a full Transmutationist.
